Answer:

Denominator

x = 12

Explanation:

Let x be the denominator of the fraction at point y.

Given:

Point X is at 2/3 on a number line from 0.

On the same line, point y is the same point from 0.

Numerator of the fraction at point y is 8.

We need to find the denominator of the fraction at point y.

Solution:

From the above statement the distance from 0 to point X and 0 to point Y is same, so point X is equal to Y.


(2)/(3) =(8)/(x)

By cross multiplication.


x=(8* 3)/(2)


x= (24)/(2)


x = 12

Therefore, the denominator of the fraction at point y is 12.
